About The Bakery

The Bakery is a residential care home in Swadlincote. We support older people and younger adults, including adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, people with physical disabilities and people with sight or hearing loss. Because the people who live here are at very different stages of life and want different things, we plan individually rather than running the house to one routine. Some are out a good deal, at activities, at work or seeing family. Others prefer things quiet and predictable, and neither is treated as a problem. Support is agreed with each person using whatever way of communicating already works for them, and we take the trouble to learn it properly rather than guessing. Help with washing, dressing, mobility and medication is given discreetly and at the time somebody prefers. We pay close attention to the practical things that often decide whether a house works for a person: moving about safely, equipment that suits, and information available in a form somebody can actually use. Health appointments are followed up properly rather than left to drift. Families and friends are welcome whenever they want to come. Short respite stays are available. Our most recent rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch if you would like to look round.
